SAP’s Evangelism on Web 2.0 & Web 3.0

My intention in writing this blog is to collate the tools available from SAP on Web 2.0.

As everyday in life we are talking about communities, social networking, intention is to showcase how enterprises can leverage on this using the tools provided.

Web 2.0 and SAP:

How Web 2.0 started:

As O’ReillyMedia’s first Web 2.0 conference in late 2005 gave us the gyan on steps, procedures and behavior of semantic web. The term seemed to cornet a kind of online revolution, a World Wide Web of the people.

Web 2.0 came to describe sites, services, or technologies that promoted sharing and collaboration right down to the Net’s grassroots. That includes blogs and wikis, tags and RSS feeds.

How SAP is using it:

As SAP promised tools on Web 2.0, SAP delivered products and services with the use of Web 2.0 within SAP. I tried listing some of the tools available.

1. SAP community Network and workspace – one of the industry’s best network for the ecosystem

2. SAP BusinessObjects Explorer Accelerated – lets you browse through billions of rows of corporate data as easily as you browse the web, using innovative memory-resident analytics coupled with an interface that automatically proposes appropriate analyses.

In a nutshell, SAP is looking at business software with a semantic web theme.

In essence, the Semantic Web is all about machines reading Web pages much as we humans read them, search engines and software agents can better troll the Net and find what we’re looking for. It’s a set of standards that turns the Web into one big database.

Now SAP can evangelize on Web 3.0 with next wave of computing ‘In-Memory Solutions by extending already delivered solutions without business disruption.

My point of view:

As web is already going on cloud, it will be a good idea to sell apps with cloud.
